Antifungal In Vitro Activity of Pilosulin- and Ponericin-Like Peptides from the Giant Ant <i>Dinoponera quadriceps </i>and Synergistic Effects with Antimycotic Drugs

Antifungal In Vitro Activity of Pilosulin- and Ponericin-Like Peptides from the Giant Ant <i>Dinoponera quadriceps </i>and Synergistic Effects with Antimycotic Drugs

Venoms from ants comprise a rich source of bioactive peptides, including antimicrobial peptides. From the proteome and peptidome of the giant ant <i>Dinoponera quadriceps</i> venom, members of five known classes of antimicrobial peptides were disclosed (e.g., dermaseptin-, defensin-, ICK...
